Real Madrid Prepares for El Clasico Showdown

Real Madrid is on the verge of equalling La Liga's longest unbeaten streak of 43 matches, previously set by Barcelona, as they prepare for a highly anticipated El Clasico at Santiago Bernabeu. Since their last defeat to Atletico Madrid in September 2023, Madrid has achieved 31 wins and 11 draws, also clinching last season's La Liga title and remaining undefeated in the Champions League. Key players for Madrid include Vinicius Junior, who leads with 19 league goals, and Jude Bellingham with 14. In contrast, Barcelona, who need a victory to retain their unbeaten record, are missing several defensive players due to injury. Both teams come into the match with significant recent victories, with Madrid defeating Borussia Dortmund 5-2 and Barcelona beating Bayern Munich 4-1. This match holds immense significance as Real seeks to protect their three-point lead atop the table.
